Free Advice for Authors including Free Assessment of Manuscripts

Wanting to find a publisher? Try asking yourself the following questions:

Is my book really and truly finished or can I improve it? Who is it for?

Is it inspired by the life I’ve lived
– or the power of a vivid imagination?

What do I want from it – money? - recognition?
- or the chance to be heard?

Your answers will affect
your choice of publisher, how and when you make your approach and how they
react.

Maybe you’ve had a few
rebuffs. I had plenty myself but I persevered

and eventually found myself signing
contracts – and fresh new copies

straight from the press! They do smell good!

Gaining a worldwide audience brings enormous satisfaction (and some money besides), and I'm happy to guide new authors along the narrow path that leads to success!

I recently advised an author on the finer points of her first novel and it's due out this year - with the publisher eager to see the sequel!

Another author wrote,'How impressed I've been with the thoroughness of your editorial comments.'
